Activity 1 Modeling a Cast Part
In this activity, you will construct the model of a casting. When
completed, your model should look like the following illustration.While building this model, take time to note the techniques used for
obtaining the features.
1. Create a metric part file.
2. Create a global parallel reference plane 120.4 mm parallel to the
reference plane shown.
3. Create a global reference plane at a 10-degree angle to the planecreated in the previous step.

4. Create a Sketch on the first global plane you created. This sketchwill represent the center of the plane. Include the edge of the
reference plane shown in the profile environment for the sketchprofile.
Note:
This is done because you only know the angle of the plane and thedistance between the center of the part and the center of the
mounting boss. When you get into the profile environment on the
angled plane, you have no way of determining exactly where thecenter of the plane is located. This sketch locates the exact centerof the plane.
5. Create a Protrusion for the angled mounting boss on the angled
global reference plane. Make the extent symmetric at 35 mm.Position the circle at the midpoint of the sketch draw on the first
parallel global plane.

8. Next, create the 25-degree symmetric revolved connecting body of
the model. The profile and resulting model are shown in theillustration.

9. To construct the support arm portion of this model, you need a pathfor a swept feature. Construction surfaces can help create the path.However, before you construct these surfaces, you need some
sketches for exact location of the construction surfaces. Thefollowing illustrations provide details for the two sketches.
10. On the Constructions toolbar, use the Extruded Surfaces commandto project construction surfaces from these sketches. Usesymmetric extents long enough to insure their intersection.

11. On the Constructions toolbar, use the Intersection Curve command
to create an intersection curve from these two surfaces. This willbe the path for a swept protrusion that will connect the material.
12. Using the intersection curve as the sweep path and a simple circle(26 mm diameter) at one end point of the sweep path, create theswept protrusion as shown.
Note the progress of the model shown in the following illustration.

13. Create the revolved cutout as shown. The angle of the sweep must
go completely through the part.
14. Construct an offset surface from the top surface of the part asshown in the following illustration. The offset goes into the part 8
mm. This construction surface will be used for a cutout extentthat will be constructed in the following steps.

16. Add the three mounting holes.

17. Add the large rounds (15 mm) at the ends of the swept feature asshown (both sides of the model).
18. Apply 2 mm rounds to the edges as shown in the followingillustration.

Activity 2 Modeling a Plastic Part
In this activity, you will model a plastic part. When completed, your
plastic part should look like the following two illustrations. Whilebuilding this model, take time to note the techniques used for
obtaining the features.

1. Create a new metric part file.
2. Create a 125 mm wide protrusion that extends symmetrically from
the reference plane. The profile and resulting feature are shown inthe following illustrations.
3. Create a sketch that consists of two straight lines. These lines
represent the start point and end point of the dome-shaped sweptprotrusion you will construct later in the activity.

4. Model two construction surfaces from the previous sketch. Be surethe construction surfaces completely intersect the solid model.
5. Turn off the sketches and click the Intersection Curve command tofind the intersection of the construction surfaces with the solid
body. In the model shown in the illustration, construction surfacesare turned off only the solid and the intersection curves areshown.

6. Construct a sketch on a parallel plane at the endpoint of the
intersection curve you just created. Include the intersection curve(not the reference plane) as the base of the profile. You may have
to zoom-in to make sure you select the intersection curve and notthe reference plane. They do not occupy the same location.
Tip:
On the ribbon bar, use the Keypoints option to place the parallelplane exactly at the endpoint of the intersection curve.
7. Construct a sketch on another parallel plane at the other
intersection curve endpoint. The profile must be connected to theincluded intersection line and not the model edge.
